Electrophysiological comparison of left versus right stellate ganglia neurons by Arie O. Verkerk, Carol Ann Remme, Molly O'Reilly

“…Background: The stellate ganglia of the peripheral autonomic nervous system innervate the heart and continuously fine-tune cardiac function to meet physiological demands. The right stellate ganglion (RSG) predominantly innervates the sinoatrial node and has functional effects on chronotropy/heart rate, whereas the left stellate ganglion (LSG) has predominance in the ventricular myocardium and impacts inotropy/contractility. …”

Comparative evaluation of echocardiographic characteristics of the heart left ventricle in female and male rats by E. O. Ionova, E. I. Barchukova, M. B. Vititnova, I. B. Tsorin, S. A. Kryzhanovskii

“…In experiments on anesthetized rats (ketamine 100 mg / kg, iv), it was shown that in female rats, the size and volume of the left ventricle are smaller than in males, but compared with males, their left ventricular ejection fraction, which characterizes its inotropic function, is statistically significantly higher.…”
